The sterile chill of St. Mungo’s Hospital clung to the air, broken only by the rhythmic beep of monitors. Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above a figure slumped in a chair beside the bed. Harry Potter looked wrecked—hair a chaotic mess, glasses crooked, eyes rimmed with red from sleepless nights and silent tears. He sat frozen, his hand hovering near the bed, terrified to touch the bandaged head of the woman he loved. When her eyes fluttered open, the atmosphere shifted from heavy dread to fragile hope. A healer stepped into the frame, clipboard in hand, her expression professional yet concerned, while Harry’s breath hitched, his gaze locking onto hers with a mixture of relief and lingering terror.
